The UEFA European Championship will kick off on June 10th and run for a month. The tournament will be held in France and will feature the continent's top 24 national teams. Spain have won the last two Euros - in 2008 when Austria and Switzerland co-hosted and four years later when Poland and Ukraine shared the event. Can they make it a hat-trick? The games are so wonderful. You can record the unforgetable videos by your camera for watching anytime anywhere. For more nice watching, you can edit them with popular NLEs like FCP or iMovie firstly.

But not all UEFA Euro 2016 recordings are supported by FCP/iMovie due to the complicated formats/codecs. Let us have a look at the following FCP/iMovie supported formats

Resolution: You can choose different resolutions, all the way to 5K. The lowest resolution supported is 640 x 480. You cannot choose custom resolutions or aspect ratios. This is a huge negative.

Frame Rate: The lowest frame rate possible is 23.976p, and the maximum is 60p. No 12 or 18 fps options.

Audio Settings: Generally, audio only has 'Surround' or 'Stereo', and the maximum audio bit depth isn’t specified. Squence audio is always mixed using 32-bit floating-point values. Tips: Final Cut Pro allows you to directly import any audio file format compatible with QuickTime. However, only uncompressed file formats should be used for editing.
